UP PIPES

WHILE THE TRANNY IS OUT AND BEING REPLACED; IS IT EASIER TO REPLACE THE UP PIPES WITH BELLOWED PIPES THAN WITH THE TRANNY IN. DO YOU STILL HAVE TO PULL THE TURBO?

I just did this on mine - it is *much* easier with the tranny out. You do not have to pull the turbo.

Def do it with the tranny out. The shop told me it took less than half the time this way...

I pulled my turbo and installed the uppie's. They never sounded right. I blew my tranny a couple of months later (not because of the uppies). While the tranny was out, I re-installed the uppies because I missed the baby's butt alignment.

Way easier when the tranny is out.
